| Description: | Evaluation of the affinity of compounds for the human MCH-1 receptor was accomplished using 4-(3,4,5-tritritiumbenzyloxy)-1-(1-(2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)-1H-indazol-5-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-one and membranes prepared from stable CHO-K1 cells expressing the human MCH-1 receptor obtained from Euroscreen (Batch 1138). Cell membrane homogenates (8.92 μg protein) were incubated for 60 min at 25° C. with 1.4 nM of the [3H]-labeled compound in the absence or presence of the test compound in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.4. Nonspecific binding was determined in the presence of 50 μM 1-(5-(4-cyanophenyl)bicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-yl)-3-(4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1-(3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)propyl)urea. Following incubation, the samples were filtered rapidly under vacuum through Skatron 11731 filters, pre-soaked in 0.5% polyethylenimine, and washed with ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.4, (wash setting 9,9,0) using a Skatron cell harvester. |
